What we take on after a fire
You can sell without cleaning the house, repairing fire damage, or hauling debris for us. We buy the property as it stands, including fire-damaged houses, so you can compare a direct sale without first taking on a cleanup or restoration project.
Safety directions still matter. Follow the instructions for the actual property, and do not enter if officials have restricted access or said the structure is unsafe.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
What happens next
Tell us what was damaged and what you know about access, the claim, or the mortgage. We discuss the property, give you a written offer and written terms before you commit, and close through a title company.
You can call or use the form to start the conversation; you do not need to finish cleanup first.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.

Local records and property safety
The Fond du Lac County Register of Deeds is the county office identified as the repository for county real-estate documents. Use its official page for that records office; it is not a building-safety or permit office.

For a safety, repair, demolition, or debris-removal question, follow the fire and building officials for the municipality where the property sits. Ask that municipality whether a permit or other approval applies before work begins, and check with your insurer about claim-related requirements. Do not enter a house officials have said is unsafe.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare the written offer and terms with your own estimates for repairs, cleanup, debris removal, holding costs, payoff, and closing costs. Also consider how much time and project management a rebuild would take. Confirm your claim and mortgage requirements with the insurer and mortgage servicer rather than assuming a particular payout.
The calculator is for comparison, not a property-specific offer. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Pierce Manufacturing transferred me to their Bradenton, Florida facility. I had eight weeks to get to Florida. My house on the Westside needed a few updates but I wasn't going to spend the summer on that. USA Home Buyers gave me a number in twenty-four hours. I said yes and closed in eleven days. I made it to Bradenton two weeks early.”
“After the plant I worked at outside Oshkosh restructured and cut my position, I was behind on payments within three months. The lender filed in Winnebago County Circuit Court. By that point I had a judgment date looming. USA Home Buyers had a written offer in twenty-four hours and we closed in thirteen days. The judgment was dismissed.”
“The Winnebago County divorce required the house sold before settlement could be finalized. We'd lived in Menominee Park for sixteen years — good memories, but we needed to move on. One written offer from USA Home Buyers, both signed it in the same afternoon, closed in fourteen days.”
